In Their Own Words. . .
| On his experience: | “I am 32 years old, and I graduated from the teacher training school in the provincial capital in 1992. After that I went to teach at a primary school in another town for three years. In 1996, I was moved here. I became a teacher because there is a shortage of teachers with education.”
|
| On school subjects: | “Among the four subjects at the school, I prefer teaching mathematics because I think that it is a high priority for daily life. I want my students to know how to calculate for shopping and daily business dealings.”
|
| On the new building: | “Since we built the new school, children can study even when it rains. Now, we have no problem with the weather. With the new school building, I hope that children can keep coming to school regularly.” |
